I hope the NHL has a sense of humour. (But I know they don’t.)
I’d like to see this. If they come back with empty arenas, then, like old sitcoms had a laugh track, they could add some things in to jazz up the broadcast just a touch.
Get the mannequin and jersey manufacturers back to work and load up the lower bowl with jerseyed up mannequins.
When a goal is scored, overdub some cheering and load up some stock footage of the home team fans on the broadcast.
Also, have a contest where 10 lucky fans get to come in for the Stanley Cup finals, starting in game 4 and maintaining social distance, of course. Because if a Stanley Cup is awarded without Bettman being booed in person, is that not the Cup truly being awarded with an asterisk?
